4 Responses to “Daily Grommet’s first office!”

As the boss of the Daily G well knows it is 36 years an’ counting since I first hung my shingle outside a third floor (4th floor to you guys) office on the north side of Dublin in Ireland.

The ground floor was a Chinese Takeaway restaurant which closed shortly after our arrival, to be followed by a cake shop. It wasn’t a good idea for Paddy to be above a cake shop, not then nor now, though I’ve well moved on.

We didn’t decorate our little office (as I see you guys doing) but we did hang up net curtains.

Why?

Why not, I guess we thought they’d dress the place.

I was beside an off-duty American Airlines flight attendant one day last year on an internal North American flight. The same woman had been around a bit in her life, had (by her own account) known quite a few men.
“But you know Paddy?”. she said “You never forget the ones you had kids with.”

Offices are a bit like that, you move around a lot, change places, but few of us ever forget the first one we hung our own sign out side tellling the world we were open for business.
